Proverbs 16:8-10

New International Reader's Version

⁸It is better to have a little and do right
than to have a lot and be unfair.

⁹In their hearts human beings plan their lives.
But the Lord decides where their steps will take them.

¹⁰A king speaks as if his words come from God.
And what he says does not turn right into wrong.
